The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, also known as "March Song Festival" or "March Song Festival", is a traditional song festival of Zhuang nationality. There are several regular folk song gatherings of Zhuang nationality every year, such as the 15th day of the first month, the 3rd day of March, the 8th day of April and the 15th day of August, among which the 3rd day of March is the most grand. On this day, every household will cook colorful glutinous rice, color eggs and celebrate festivals. Songs usually last for two or three days at a time and are located in an open space not far from the village. Bamboo and cloth were used to build a singing studio to receive singers from other villages. Duets are mainly composed of unmarried young men and women, but old people and children come to watch and entertain. There are one or two thousand people in the small song fair and tens of thousands in the big one.

Beside Ge Wei, vendors gather and folk trade is active. The people nearby provided accommodation for those who came to arrest Ge Wei, and they were warmly received whether they knew him or not. A large-scale song concert was attended by dozens of young men and women in Fiona Fang, with a sea of people and songs, which was really lively. Qiao Ye has always been a big song fair in Tianyang County. People go to song parties to compete and enjoy songs; Young men and women sing, and if they hit it off with each other, they give each other tokens as tokens of their love. In addition, there are interesting activities such as throwing hydrangeas and touching eggs.

Throwing hydrangeas is mainly for entertainment, but also as a symbol of love. The girl took a fancy to a young man and threw the hydrangea to him. Touching eggs is for mutual fun, and it is also a promise. The Song Festival is a grand gathering of people's trade and national culture. 1985, the district people's government designated March 3rd as Guangxi National Arts Festival.
